Bob and Latoya both drove to a baseball game at a college

stadium. Bob lives 70 miles from the stadium and Latoya lives
60 miles from it, as shown in the accompanying diagram. Bob
drove at a rate of 50 miles per hour, and Latoya drove at a rate
of 40 miles per hour. If they both left home at the same time,
who got to the stadium first?
